A website has been created to help Orthodox Jews struggling with addictions to porn, sex or masturbation find support in the Torah.

Guard Your Eyes — which bears the slogan ‘Maintaining Moral Purity In Today’s World’ — offers Torah-inspired assistance for those they term “caught in the shmutz”.

The site offers a huge range of tools to its 10,000-strong online community. It has a strong focus on technical solutions, from web filtering software that will send your browsing history to your rabbi to recommendations on “kosher phone” providers.

Gender-segregated forums provide support, with topics ranging from rabbinical teachings on lust to motivational mantras on how to not “act out”.
